I can see phantoms after hitting them once with a blessed weapon. Is that the other 'secret'?

There might be a bug with blessed weapon. I can see the floor/wall 2 squares away, but most of the time, i can't see the creatures. I can see creatures 1 square away, but they disappear at 2.

how do you use the wand of striking. When i zap the monsters, nothing happens.

The +1 vision actually comes from her blessed weapon. If you drop weapon, she loses vision.

I never knew that blessed weapons give +1 vision.

Athena also comes with rust proof armor and +1 vision

What do Blessed weapons do? I did a search but no help.
